Romans 6 · Grade 4
Dead to Sin, Alive to God
Read and Think
"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?" Paul answers, "May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?"
All who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death. We were buried with him through baptism, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead, we also might walk in newness of life. If we are united with him in his death, we will also share in his resurrection.
Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. "Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord." Do not let sin reign in your body. Present yourselves to God as alive from the dead, and your bodies as tools for righteousness.
"For sin will not have dominion over you, for you are not under law, but under grace." Being made free from sin, you became servants of righteousness. The fruit is a holy life, and the end is eternal life. "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
